Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

When Cao De heard this, his face changed drastically and he said in horror: "No, no, you absolutely cannot go in. There is someone in there with smallpox."

However, Fu Kang'an responded without hesitation: "It's okay. We both had smallpox when we were children. Hurry and open the door." Then he turned to the yamen runners and ordered: "You guys go and bring all his family members here. They will live in the city from now on."

The yamen runners looked embarrassed, but under Fukangan's majestic gaze, they had no choice but to walk slowly towards the tent.

At this time, Cao De hurriedly knelt in front of Fu Kang'an and begged bitterly, "General, I am willing to accompany you in. Please don't let my family in, okay? There are only a few of us in my family, and they are pregnant. I really can't take the risk of going in!"

Fu Kang'an responded indifferently: "Really? Then let the pregnant woman stay, and everyone else must go in."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream of fear was heard from inside the tent.

Fu Kang'an remained unmoved. He fiercely kicked Cao De, knocking him to the ground, and threatened, "I'll have someone open the door immediately, or I'll have your head! If the emperor knew you'd done such a cruel thing, your head would be in tatters. You might as well take this opportunity to atone for your sins."

Seeing the weeping people coming out of the tent, Cao De felt that everything was over. With a broken heart, he got up from the ground and shouted towards the city gate, "Open the gate! Open the gate quickly!"

Fukangan jumped onto his horse, looked at Ziwei and said gently, "Chen'er, remember to use your spiritual energy to protect your body, just in case." What if this monk's body can't resist the smallpox virus?

Ziwei rolled her eyes at him and rode her horse towards the city.

What greeted me was an empty street, with every shop on either side, even the pharmacy, tightly shut. The desolate scene resembled an abandoned city in a movie, and a faint stench hung in the air.

Ziwei's expression instantly became serious. She quickly covered her mouth and nose to stop breathing and shouted to Fukang'an, "Fukang'an, hold your breath! And you, quickly find something to cover your mouth and nose."

Then, she stared at Cao De with a serious expression and said firmly, "Sir Cao, please immediately send people to transport the bodies of all deceased people outside the city for cremation. In addition, everyone must cover their mouths and noses with something, as this virus is transmitted through the air. All household items must be disinfected by soaking them in boiling water. At the same time, burn traditional Chinese medicines with disinfectant properties such as moxa leaves and cloves. The smoke can also have a disinfecting effect. Finally, arrange for all doctors in the city who have not been infected with smallpox to be summoned to the county government office, and send people to search for cowpox."

Cao De looked at the girl who came with Fu Kang'an, frowned, and said in an unhappy tone: "Why do you say that, young lady? No one will agree to cremate a dead person without even a complete body."

The girl, with a calm expression and a determined gaze, retorted, "Only cremation can eliminate the spread of the smallpox virus in them. Otherwise, Jihua Town will be plagued by both smallpox and plague. By then, there will be real devastation, and no one in the city will survive."

Her casual words struck Cao De like a hammer, his expression instantly darkening. He had been clinging to a hopeless situation, believing that if only those who couldn't survived died, smallpox would naturally disappear. However, if her words were true, his guilt would implicate his entire clan, with disastrous consequences.

Seeing this, Fu Kang'an on the side curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer, a hint of threat flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Do as the princess says, otherwise I will first release this smallpox virus to your Cao family."

A princess? Although he had guessed that a girl with Fu Kang'an must be of high status, he had never expected her to be a princess. Only the emperor's own daughter could be canonized as a princess. Thinking of his previous offenses against her, Cao De felt as if another mountain had fallen from the sky, pressing down on him hard, making him breathless.

He had actually offended the Emperor's daughter. It looked like his life was truly over. "Princess, I will do as you command. I beg you and General Fucha to spare my family."

After he finished speaking, he turned to the woman who had been following him without saying a word, "Madam, please take the princess and the general to the county government office and take good care of them." Seeing the woman nod, he left with the runners.

Madam Cao looked up at the princess on horseback and said with a charming smile, "Princess, General, the county government office is not far ahead. Behind the office is our house. Please go and wash up."

"Lead the way!" Ziwei looked at her coldly. The woman looked kind, but she did not feel any friendliness from her.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the county government office. Fu Kang'an and Ziwei dismounted and followed Madam Cao into the courtyard behind the government office.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see a variety of rare and precious plants, trees and flowers planted there, the fragrance of flowers overflowing, making people feel relaxed and happy. There is also an exquisite rockery in the center of the courtyard, and below the rockery is a clear lake with a clear bottom, reflecting the surrounding scenery, which is beautiful.

To be able to build such an exquisite mansion in this northwest region, it must have cost a lot of money. Ziwei sneered inwardly, thinking that the county magistrate must be a corrupt person who must have extorted a lot of money from the people on a daily basis.

"Princess, this is the main courtyard. Please take a rest. If you need a meal, you can ask the kitchen to prepare it." When Mrs. Cao saw Ziwei nod, she hurriedly turned around and left, and asked the servants to arrange the relevant matters.

"Fukang'an, do you know how to use the cleansing technique?" Ziwei chanted a spell, her hands moving in a circle. Instantly, a magical power enveloped her entire body. In the blink of an eye, she was completely refreshed from head to toe, completely free of the fatigue and dust from her journey.

Fu Kang'an shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I currently only know how to use fire spells, and I can't perform cleansing spells like the princess. This spell is indeed convenient and practical. It even saves me the trouble of taking a shower."

Ziwei looked at the flame on his finger with a touch of envy. She didn't have a fire root, so she couldn't practice fire magic at all. She still had to carry a fire starter when she went out. The important thing was that the attack of wood root spells was not as powerful as fire root spells.

This man was truly favored by heaven as always. The fact that he could practice magic proved that his cultivation was almost as good as hers, or even better. He hadn't practiced as long as her, but he had improved so quickly. It was hard not to make her jealous!
